The khorovod or horovod[a] is an East Slavic and pagan art form and one of the oldest dances of Russia with its more than 1,000 years history.[1] It is a combination of a circle dance and chorus singing, similar to the choreia of ancient Greece. The dance was also known in Russia as karagod, tanok and krug.
